Swikly

Swikly is a French fintech startup established in 2016 with a focus on simplifying and securing transactions for rental and reservation payments. The company's innovative approach allows businesses in the sports, tourism, leisure, and short-term rental accommodations industries to secure bookings efficiently. Swikly's unique concept involves creating a swik, a banking transaction that safeguards a rental or reservation with an online security deposit. This is facilitated through a credit card imprint entered by the customer on a secure form, ensuring that the secured amounts do not affect their credit card limits. Swikly's slogan, "Protect your rentals. Simplify your reservations. With complete confidence.", aptly captures the essence of the service it provides. In April 2019, Swikly secured a significant €1.50M Seed Round investment, attracting support from prominent investors such as Kreaxi, Crédit Agricole, Evolem, HUB612, and B612 Participations. This infusion of capital not only validates the potential of Swikly's business model but also positions the company for further growth and expansion. Swikly's ability to address the challenges of traditional practices and provide a seamless, secure solution for both sellers/renters and customers underscores its potential in the rapidly evolving fintech landscape. As the market continues to embrace digital transformation, Swikly's innovative approach makes it a compelling player in the industry, with significant opportunities for future development and success.
